Web Based Forms....

Keyzer

Hi All,
If this question has been asked already then forgive me....

Does anyone have any information on web forms?

I can put together the form etc. its the actual processing of the form thats the problem. I have very little programming experience so its a dummies guide is what I'm looking for. Basically, I have a form which people put there info in and click submit, on clicking submit I want the info sent directly to me, and the user to be redirected back to my home page...

Please help with anything that may be useful...

Use eircom.net's form processing cgi (you don't need an a/c with them) - just paste the below into your form and change the neccesary attributes. Works like a charm.

<FORM ACTION="http://homepage.eircom.net/cgi-bin/auto_mail.cgi&quot; METHOD='post"'>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="TO" VALUE="you@blah.com">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="SUBJECT" VALUE="Choose a Subject">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="RETURN" VALUE="http://www.yoursite.com/thanks.htm"&gt;

Just click here !!

They are some of the simplier form tag attributes ( <form attribute> ) ... the attributes are the task you want the form tag to do.

Just make so that you name all the elements in your form.

Error: No To field specified
